The human eye can see with exceptional detail, allowing people to read fine print, recognize faces across the room, and take in the features in nature. Scientists have long debated how this sharp ...

Scientists led by Botond Roska at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) and collaborators have identified genetic pathways and compounds capable of protecting cone ...

Technology used by UC Berkeley researchers to see a new color may allow for development of new ways to see and research eye diseases. The machine, dubbed Oz, was previously used to shoot lasers into ...

Using human retinas grown in a petri dish, researchers have discovered how an offshoot of vitamin A generates the specialized cells that enable people to see millions of colors, an ability that dogs, ...

Scientists have created a color that lies outside the range of normal human vision. Using laser pulses to stimulate specific cells in the retina, a team from UC Berkeley and the University of ...

The average human eye can see as many as 10 million variations in color, according to some estimates, from purest gray to laser green. Now scientists say they’ve broken out of that familiar range and ...

Retinal organoid marked to show blue cones in cyan and green/red cones in green. Cells called rods that help the eye see in low-light or dark conditions are marked in magenta. With human retinas grown ...
